El Capitan Books is an American comic book and graphic novel publisher, which exclusively publishes the work of its founder, David Lapham.
El Capitan's first release was Stray Bullets #1 in 1995, and the company is still best known for publishing this comic book series which continues today.
Other series which it has released include Murder Me Dead #1-9 (2000–2001) and The Parallax Man (2005).
The company is also well known for its collections of Stray Bullets' stories (Innocence of Nihilism, Somewhere Out West, Other People, and Dark Days) in large European-style hardcover editions (and more recently in small US comic size softcover editions).
Famous quotes containing the word books:
“Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
